First: Thanks for that blog link. That sort of simple design is what I'm after. Rock on.Next: That is PRECISELY why I have banned myself from target. It's so hard. Right now I am having Target withdrawals. I am about to look through the Sunday circular, which will trigger the shakes and possibly some drooling. It's not a pretty thing....

I love that scene in The Jerk. I say that all the time. All I need is one piece of chocolate. And a cookie. Thats all I need one piece of chocolate and a cookie. And a slice of cake. And maybe a scoop of ice cream....

Amen sister. It's an addiction... 4 days after c-section with first daughter, where was I? At Target. It's sick, really, because I have created 2 Target Monsters. They could be addicted to, yanno, Macy's or something though, so I'm looking on the positive side...

Same thing happens to me with Target. Except, I usually get so carried away buying things I really don't need, that I forget to buy whatever it is I went to Target for in the first place. Which means a return trip. It's all a very vicious cycle!

I went in for a notebook that I was short for school supplies. It was back to school time and school supplies were in th very back corner of the store. As I walked through the housewares, the children's department, health and beauty, and cleaning supplies, I was thinking "it's back to school, if they were smart they would put it right in the front of the store!" Then as I checked out with my notebook and 20 other items, I realized hey are waaaay smarter than me!

That sounds like my trips to Target! Especially if little one is with me. I'm just impressed you came home with what you went for! :)(Love your blog - can't remember how I got here - but definitely have to keep reading!!)

LOLSounds like my trip on Friday! I went to pick up a prescription. I was told to come back in 15 minutes. Even though I was with my husband (he didn't stop me!), I ended up with 2 area rugs, 2 outdoor mats, 1 comforter, 1 sheet set, and a chair & bench from their mission collection. Oh! And hair gel.

Oh, that was too funny! And so ridiculously accurate...except I would look all giddy with delight, aimlessly searching end caps and humming happy tunes (as opposed to depressed and angry like The Jerk)! :)

Love the "cover charge" quotes. My defense is always, "It's cheaper than therapy...plus, now we have toilet paper!"

I love this post, I loved that movie! That is our huge family joke! I have the same problem at Target, Walmart, Dollar General. We have finally realized that the price of going to the store is always the same, no matter what you buy...$100.
